CSC Hacks 2026

CSC Hacks is a hackathon hosted by the Computer Science Club at the University of Pittsburgh! The challenge is simple: take a complex idea and build it out as far as you can. You don't need a polished product. What matters is ambition, creativity, and how much ground you cover. Projects are encouraged to be functional, but a strong concept with meaningful progress counts too. Award Categories: Best Overall / People’s Choice. This will also be the peoples award, voted on by your peers. Most Practical: Something you would use often in daily life. Most Creative: Build something others aren't thinking about. Gemini API - MLH Sponsored: Use gemini api in any way to be eligible. Good Luck!
